After spending time together in Vietnam, Juan Pablo and the ladies hop over to breathtaking New Zealand to spice things up.

The first date card goes to Andi, much to Clare's chagrin. After the "inappropriate" stunt she pulled last episode — pulling Juan into the ocean for a smooch session at 4 a.m. — she was hoping she could have time to talk things over with him.

But this is good for Andi, because she's the only girl left who has not been on a one-on-one date. Things start out fast for them on a river jet in New Zealand, which takes them to "the squeeze" — a large, narrow water maze, so to speak, flanked by huge moss-covered caverns.

Andi thought she'd be feeling the heat as per the date card's message, but she's feeling kind of cold with the rain and all. Alas, they reach a hot waterfall at the end and kiss as the stream falls down on them.

Night brings dinner in front of a geyser for the couple. Andi calls New Zealand fantasy land. I'll admit, the rolling mountain views are quite picturesque.

But the geyser goes off and sprays a fine mist all over their food, which ruins their dinner.

It doesn't matter to Andi — she cares about Juan's company and getting to know him. After a walk, Juan unzips his jacket to reveal a rose underneath, and hands it to Andi.

On the group date, all the girls besides Clare and Andi get to engage in some extreme sports. They roll down hills in an "ogo," a large inflatable ball with a little bit of water in it.

The girls take turns going down the hill with Juan. Nikki is delighted that they kissed twice in the ogo.

The cocktail party has an unusual setting — Hobbiton, where they filmed "The Lord of the Rings" films and "The Hobbit." Sharleen's inner geek is freaking out right now.

Juan plucks Renee from the rest of the group for some alone time kissin'.

When it's time for Sharleen to have some one-on-one time, she is dead set on actually talking with Juan Pablo to really test their compatibility. But right away, he starts with the kisses and she just can't resist.

She manages to pull back and get some words in. She asks him how he thinks she feels right now and he says "Great, but a little scared." He's spot on, she says, which makes her feel better. She's constantly questioning where they stand in relation to the other girls. She calls this dating process "very inorganic." But Juan says not to worry. He still clearly favors her.

Cassandra is hoping for a rose after the group date — the perfect 22nd birthday present, she says — and tries to have conversation with Juan beyond the surface level. It kind of works.

Unfortunately for Cassandra, Sharleen gets the 32-year-old's rose. She also gets sent home by Juan early, before the rose ceremony. He doesn't want to waste her time while he knows they're at different chapters in their lives. He's also concerned about keeping her away from her very young son, whom she misses dearly.

Man, that's rough. Gettin' dumped on your birthday. At least he realizes he has a stronger connection with some of the other girls.

The next day, Juan Pablo apologizes to Clare on their second one-on-one date, just a simple picnic in New Zealand. She feels better after having her feelings hurt.

They enjoy loungin' in some nondescript house — and later they put on sweatpants — in the next phase of the date. Clare says she prefers feeling comfortable and casual rather than fancy, like at a cocktail party.

It's almost rose ceremony time. The stakes are high here, because almost everyone is safe from elimination besides Nikki, Renee, Chelsie and Kat. The odds are not in Chelsie and Kat's favor.

And in the end, it's Kat who is sent packing. About time.

Sharleen issues an ultimatum for herself — if she can't see herself with Juan Pablo after another week, she'll leave. Right on, girl.

And it looks like next week in Miami, Nikki and Clare butt heads. Boring.
